As recorded by J.J. Cale (From the 1982 Album GRASSHOPPER) [Intro] | C | G/B | Am | Em/G | F | G | C | G7 | [Verse 1]
C               G/B          
  Every time I stop awhile

Am             Em/G                
  Think about your sweet smile

F              G               C   G  
  I can't do nothing else all day
[Verse 2]
C                   G/B           
  The way that you wink your eye

Am            Em/G           
  Every time you walk by

F  G                C    C 
  Baby, what can I say?
[Chorus]
F              G          C  
  You keep me hanging on

F              G               C  G  
  I can't get nothing else on
[Verse 3]
C                   G/B          
  When the evening rolls around

Am                  Em/G             
  And there ain't nobody around

F     G                C   
  Baby, I think of you
[Guitar Solo] | F | G | C | C | | F | G | C | G | [Verse 3]
C            G/B           
  Of all the stars at night

Am                     Em/G               
  None can match the brilliant light

F          G          C      G  
  That I see in your eyes
[Verse 4]
C                   G          
  The humble warmth, the glow

Am       Em/G         F  G                     C  
  Baby, child I know,      I still think of you
[Chorus]
F              G          C  
  You keep me hanging on

F              G            C  G  
  I can't get nothing else on
[Verse 5]
C                     G/B             
  If I could hold you just one time

Am                 Em/G         F  G  C  G
  Stop that moment in my mind
[Outro]
